Friends and family!
Sorry it has taken me so long to get this blog out. I'm back in Columbia resting and gearing up for school. But first, here is how the rest of my time in Haiti was...
Doing laundry is Haiti is so rewarding to get clean, dry clothes and there's something so perfectly simple about line-drying.
Loved getting to spend time with people I love and catch up on where we've been.
Great to enjoy Haitian meals again! This is fried goat!
The views are incredible!
It's hard to see them all because of all of the growth, but these were gray cinder-block houses that some of my first teams in 2013 painted and are now homes to many.
LOVE spending time with these cuties. A perfect way to spend your afternoon.
I had the chance to attend Kindergarten registration at Leveque again this year. So sweet to see families catch our vision and see the value in education.
One Sunday on a trip out to Leveque, a little boy brought me a little girl and the little girl kept asking me in Creole to pick her up. So I did, and she was very lethargic, dirty, and seemed sick. There wasn't much I could do but hold her while I was there. Fast forward a couple of days, and I see that same little girl and her mom at Kindergarten registration!! Great news! This means she will receive an education, hot meal, and learn about Jesus at school every day starting in the Fall! Praise the Lord for hope and for a family that sees value in education!
Here is a picture from the day I met her mom and her at registration! (I get to sponsor her now too! And her name is Sophia too!)
I had the chance to visit them one more time before I left!
VBS happens every summer with MOH in Haiti. I had never been to Haiti in the summer, so I had never gotten the opportunity to see this in action. Each child gets to have a hot meal, learn a Bible story, play sports, do crafts, sing and dance!
It was a great month with a perfect balance of work and rest. As always, the Lord taught me a lot and gave me perspective just being away. I love this place, and it never gets any easier to leave, but I'm grateful to call more than one place home. Thank you for your continued prayers and support! I feel refreshed, encouraged, challenged and I'm looking forward to this year back in the States!
